Leeds 23-year-old ruled out of clash against Reading – confirmed

Thomas Christiansen has revealed that Caleb Ekuban is the only Leeds United player who will not be fit to play in Saturday’s Championship clash against Reading.

Ekuban, 23, has missed the last nine United matches with a foot injury he sustained in the team’s 2-0 win at Sunderland in mid-August.

He has undergone surgery on his foot and is on the comeback trail but is still not yet ready to return.

Christiansen was indirectly quoted by Yorkshire Evening Post correspondent Phil Hay on his personal Twitter account on Thursday afternoon as saying that Ekuban is “the only injury absentee” in his pre-match press conference.

Christiansen says Ekuban is the only injury absentee. O’Kane/Jansson should all be involved. #lufc
